The President’s Message.
Doubtless most of our readers will have
seen the President’s message ere our present
issue shall reach them. Nevertheless so im-
portant and momentous a state paper should
he “put on the record” in every possible form
and made as familiar to the people as house-
hold werds. As a mere literary efi‘ort the
message may and doubtless will fall far short
of the President’s well known abilities and
the popular expectation. After a few lines
of thoughtful acknowledgment to the Di-
vine Ruler, he proceeds to business, in a plain,
business way. He seems fully to comprehend
what he would treat of, and briefly and al-
most bluntly dispatches it.
But the noble theme upon which he on
larges and which ennobles him, will carry
the name Of ABRAHAM LINCOLN down the
ages, as the instrument, under God, of the
EMANCIPATION OF FOUR MILLIONS OF HU-
MAN BRINGS, he elucidates With a cleamess
and logical force truly sublime. Did ever
nobler, holier words eminate from uninspir-
ed lips, than the closing of his message.

Stewart desired dressing gowns, slippers and

Any information in regard to the condi-

them in a box to be sent Saturday, or in one
to be sent next week.
A Request for Mittens.
The following extract from a letter by Col.
Noble will interest all who have friends in
the 17th Regiment C. V :
“The soldiers of this Regiment are entire-
ly destitute of mittens. It would be a bless-
ed kindness to them, if they could be furnish-
ed by citizens Of Fairfield County, about two
pair Of mittens each.
"The weather is getting cold’ quite cold.—
Our situation now is very bleak and exposed.
The cutting north west wind pours down upon
us, and out door work and drill with bare
hands is pretty severe.
“The remedy is in the hands of the fellow
citizens Of that county whose name they bear,
and from whose well warmed, patriotic
hearths they have come.”
“No comment is needed to enforce atten-
tion to this appeal. Let itbe the privilege of
those, whose homes are made secure through
the valor Of sons and brothers in camp and
tented field, to see it, that nothing is left un-
done which can make them more comforta-
ble and show they are held in loving remem-
brance by friends at home.
“Let the response he prompt. There is
not aman in the 17th Regiment that has a
wife or mother, sister or friend, but would
make him a pair Of mittens. DO not allow
another week to go by, before warm hands in
Virginia testify to warm hearts in Connecti-
cut.” .

GEN. Bowman—Years ago an Indi-
ana member of Congress received a. boy’s
application for a West Point appointee,
which he did not attend to. Happening
afterwards to be in the vicinity where the
letter was dated, he sought the writer of
the letter, and, after much inquiry, found
him in a small tailor’s shop, on the out-
skirts of the town, sitting crosslcgged on
a bench and mending a pair Of pants.-
loous. Beside him however was a book Of
nbtruse science, to which he refered when-
ever hc could. The member inquired if
he was the applicant for a cadetship, and
why he wanted it. “Because,” answered
the taller ‘youth, “I felt that I was born
for something better than mending old
clothes.” The member was so pleased
with his spirit and intelligence, that be
procured the place for him.
The boy is now Burnside, Major-Gen-
eral, in point of fact—perhaps you have

’.‘hc news from the Southwest is becom- :
, in}: interesting, as the plans of chs. ;
Grant and Sherman become more devel- ,
oped. The advance Ofthe two columns
Of National troops under the immediate
command Of these two Generals is not
the only movement against the enemy in
Mississippi. The expedition under ch.
Hovcy, which recently left Helena, we
now learn made a landing at Friar’s l’oiut
some fifteen or tw'cnty miles below, and
marching inland, occupied Grenada on
Monday last. A large number Of the
citizens fled on the approach of our forces
and some fifteen or twenty locomotives,
and about a hundred cars Were burned.
We learn from the St. Louis Republican
that a large proportion of Gen. Hovey’s
Expedition consists of cavalry, which in-
dicates that the work assigned to it is to
be done rapidly. This work, undoudt-
edly, is to obstruct the retreat of the reb-
el army down the Mississipi Central Rail-
road, anti to compel a battle with the
combined National forces marching south-
ward.
Gen. Geary marched upon Winchester
on the 3d inst. and demanded its surren-
der, which was complied with, the peo-
ple exhibiting many signs of joy at his
arrival. His command consisted of thir-
ty three hundred chosen infantry from all
the regiments in his division, two sections
of artillery from Knapp’s battery two
from McGillery’s battery and two from
Hampton’s battery, making altogether
twelve guns, and fifty cavalry of the
First Maryland.
The 2d Virginia Cavalry and the 11th
Ohio Infantry surprised a rebel camp

No loss on our side.
The latest advices from the Army of the
Potomac are up to yesterday afternoon.
The weather was very cold—there was ice
in Aquia Creek and the Potomac two
inches thick; the roads hard and rough.
NO military movements took place yes-
tcr day. Nothing is said of the story cur-
rent in Washington that our troops had
crossed the Rnppahannock below Freder-
icksburg. From the cessation of fires in
certain quarters it is conjectured that the
Rebels are falling back, yet they still
guard the fords heavily. Stonewall Jack-
son is said to have joined Lee a day or
two since. The Rebel army is said to be
almost naked, and rapidly going into hos-

WORDS 0F LOFTY CHEER.
There are of course faint-hearts and
weak sistas among those whom the in.
cessant agressions and outrages of the
Slave Power at length roused to resis-
tance, who, finding that the path of,duty
is not always radiant with victory or
strewn with flowers, are inclined to imi-
tate those children of Israel who sighed
in the wilderness for the Fleshpots of
Egypt and insisted on being led back in-
to the full fcd bondage whence they had
escaped. There may be some who com-
plain that the Natioual cause makes no
progress, and that Slavery and Treason
may ultimately triumph. To these we
would commend the fact that, for the
first time in our country’s history, our
people are reading and pondering a Pres-
ident’s Annual Message devoted in good
part to the consideration of the problem
——How can We host abolish Slavery and
thereby save our country ?——aud closing
with these memorable words ;
“The dogmas of the quiet past are inade-
quate to the stormy present. The occasion
is piled big with difficulty and we must rise
with the occasion. As our case is new, so
we must think and act anew. We must dis-
enthrall ourselves and then we shall save
our country
“Fellow citi us. we cannot escape history.
We, of this Administration, and Of this Con-
gress, will be remembered in spite of our-
selves. No personal significance or insig-
nificance can spare one or another of us.
The fiery trial through which we pass will
light us down in'honor or dishonor to the
latest generation. Wcsay that we are for
the Union. The world will not forget
while we say this we do know how to save
the Union. The world knows we do know
how to save it. We, even we here hold the
power and bear the responsibility. IN Giv-
me FREEDOM TO THE SLAVE WE assure FREE-
DOM TO THE FREE, honorable alike in what
we give and what we preserve. \Ve shall
nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of
earth. Other means may succeed. This could
not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, gener-
ous, just—a way whiCh iffollowed, the world
will forever applaud and God must forever
bless. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Washington, Dec. 1, 1862.”
—-—Sentiments so noble, so forciqlc, so
profoundly true, have very rarely found
their way into the manifestoes of rulers
and Governments. Their accustomed
place is in the uuhecdcd, derided utter-
ances of scorned fanatics, hated reformers
and stoned prophets Their appearance
in 0. President’s Message is an immense
fact, significant, fruitful, enduring. The
bowls and jeers Of a million “lewed fol
lows of the bascr sort” are soon stifled
and forgotten ; while the reverberations
of one such voice are prolonged and dif-
fused through centuries. '
“The elections go against you," shouts
exultingly a Seymourite. Yes ; the send-
ing of One Million Union Volunteers to
the seat of war has temporarily ‘ eclipsed
the Three Hundred Thousand Majority
given for Lincoln by the Free States
Send another Million of Union Volunteers
to the field, and we shall be. outnumbered
at the polls, for more decidedly than we
now are. So the fears ofa draft, the
pressure of “far burdens, the odiousness
of shinplnstcrs, will impel some to fall
away ; but their place is nobly supplied
by Union War Democrats, proud to
stand by their country in her extremity
rcgardles. of all party ties or shibboieths.
The Republican party lost elections from
like causes in 1814 ; but in 1816 it had
virtually the country to itself. “The thing
that hath been, it is that which shall be,
and there is nothing new under the sun.”
Let no man doubt that such utteran-
ces as those of the President above quot-
ed forcshadow and predict the course Of
events, whatever may be their receptions
by the grogsbops of to day. How to
save the Republic by extinguishing its
arch-enemy, Slavery—that is the problem
of the war. And it will surely be solved,
or will solve itself in such manner as “the
world will forever applaud and God must
forever bless.” To doubt that a Divine
Providence actual, beniguant, and just
-—prcsidcs Over the. Course of human af-
fairs. Yet a little whilc, and the doom
of Slavery and Rebellion will be accom-
plishcd.—ZV. Y. Tribune.

fiAnnonr SQUARE HOSPITAL,WARD I
VVASIIINGTON I). C. Nov. 27.
Emron or GAZETTE—Your flying vis-
its to this place, served much to break
the mouotomy of hospital life, and seemed
to form a connecting link between this
place and home. Nothing of special in-
terest has transpired since your depart-
ure.
The patients here from the 17th, thir-
ty-one in number, are doing well, apd the
majority will soon report for duty. .
Thinking that some of the readers of
the Gazette, especially those having friends
in the 17th, or Fairfield Co. rcgt., might
be interested in a short description of one
of the best ordered hospitals in Washing-
ton, I address you a few lines, leaving it
discretionary with you, to publish or not.
This hospital is so called from being
located on fie spot of ground occupied in
part by the U. S. Armory, fronting on
Seventh St. The barracks comprising
this hospital, are nine in number, distant
from each other some twenty feet, each
being one hundred and eighty three feet
in depth, connected by a covered walk——
Each of these barracks is lettered in or-
der from A to K.
They severally contain mess rooms for
the ward master and his assistants, fe-
male nurscs &c ; also dining room, wash
room and other necessary appurtenances.
The wards, when in complete order, with
beds carefully made, and covered with
clean white spreads, present a. very strik-
ing appearance, and impress one with a
picture of order and neataess seemingly
impossible to a place of such magnitude,
devoted to such purpose. Its aggregate
capacity is one thousand patients. It
was designed especially for the wounded,
of.which these were, after the battles of
Bull Run and Antietam, upwards oPsev-
en hundred. Maj. D. W, Bliss, Brig.
Surg. U. S. A., in charge, is considered
one of the best field surgeons in the ser-
vice, und is agentlemnn eminently fitted
for so responsible an Office. Dr. Bliss is
no mere place-man, but has the highest
good of this institution at'heart, and is
truly the soldier’s friend, and is univer-
sally lovcd for his afi‘ability and kindliness
of manner. A. H. Conliu has the gener-
al oversight Of all the wards, an Office for
which he is well fitted. When not crowd-
ed, one surgeon has the supervision of two
wards. Dr. Sprague of Good I, is much
liked by his patients, and judging from
the success attending his ministrations in
this word, is well worthy the confidence
accorded him by those under his charge.
Each ward has a female nurse, to whom
is intrusted all stimulants, and whose bu-
siness it is, to administer medicines,—-to
see to the beds, diet, and general comfort
of the more helpless invalids, anti to ren-
der all those kind attentions, of which a
well trained and tender hearted female
nurse is alone capable. Miss Annie L.
Green of ward I, is abundantly gifted
with those qualities, and is deservedly
popular with those requiring her kind of-
fices. Of the assistant nurses and attend-
ants, I can only say that they are kind-
heartcd and show a disposition to render
the patients uudcr'their care as comfort-
able as possible. Our friend, L. W.
Smith, although still suffering from weak-
ness Of the lungs, is by his untiring efforts
in behalf of sufferers here, making many
friends, and it is hoped that he may be
permanently located here, as his health
is unequal to an active winter campaign.
The 27th was an episode in hospital life.
The patriotic ladies of Washington, with
some assistance from the various relief
societies here, provided a sumptuous and
abundant Thanksgiving dinner for the
patients here—sonic 473 in number ; and
I am informed that all the hospitals
throughout the city Were similarly pro-
vided for.
The magnitude of the undertaking may
be seen, when I state that on the 16th
Oct. there were 14,475 soldiers in the va-
rious hospitals in this city. After some
appropriate remarks from Dr. Bliss, (the
Chaplain being unavoidably abscnt,) the
whole company joined him in repeating
the Lords prayer".
The dinner graced by the presence ofnu-
merous ladies, passed Ofi‘ in a most happy
and agreeable manner, and all returned
with full stomachs and smiling faces. It
only required the presence Of loved ones
at home to make it fully equal in every
respect to our Old fashioned New Eng-
land festival.
1 have only to add that I received a
letter from Capt. Fowler yesterday. All
well. The rcgt. is still at Chantilly Va.

forgets other people. The man or Woman
who buys any othe Saleratus but Herrick Al-
